Secure Your First Donation

Create a List of Potential Donors

Write down the names of all the people in your life — family, friends, neighbours, co-workers, family doctor, auto mechanic — don’t leave anyone out. You know a lot of people!

Email Everyone

After registering, send a simple email to all of your contacts and don’t forget to include your Personal Page link. Include a note about why you are committed to OneWalk and inspire your donors to support you!

After a week, follow up with a phone call to everyone you emailed to secure a donation if they haven’t already donated online. You can also log in to your Participant Centre where you will find emails already written for you to send as follow-ups and thank-yous.

EXPANDING YOUR GIVING CIRCLE

Reach people you’ve never met!

Have everyone you email forward your donation request to their friends and family. Use social media like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter to share your journey and encourage others to support you. Have family and friends distribute donation forms for you and talk to their contacts about supporting your OneWalk.

Corporate Support

There are several ways you can ask your company to support you! Talk to management about a donation from the company or about donation matching. Corporate teams are also a great way to increase your fundraising all while encouraging camaraderie and adding to your company’s social responsibility.

Email Badge

Extend your fundraising reach by including the OneWalk email badge every time you click send! Personalized just for you, the email badge will display your fundraising goal and progress and link directly to your Personal Page where donations can be made. Log in and download today!

Fundraising Advisory

Invite your community to attend your own fundraising event! Send it to your local newspaper’s community calendar section with your name and participant ID, so those who are unable to attend can still donate to you via your Personal Page. Contact Maricruz Vazquez at mvazquez@causeforce.com if your story makes the news!

FACEBOOK FUNDRAISER

You may have heard the recent news that Facebook has now enabled fundraising tools across Canada. Facebook Fundraisers are a valuable tool to help you utilize the platform to fundraise from friends and family for your Walk.

It is important to know that Facebook Fundraisers do not automatically integrate with your OneWalk fundraising account. Before you get started, we wanted to provide you with guidelines to be sure you set up your Facebook Fundraiser in a way that is able to be tracked and credited to your OneWalk fundraising efforts.

How To Set Up Your Fundraiser

Select Fundraisers on your Facebook navigation menu. This will be found on the left side of your browser for desktop devices and in the drop-down menu on Facebook mobile applications.

From the Fundraisers screen, select the Raise Money button, you will be prompted to set up your fundraiser. Please follow the next steps to ensure your fundraiser will be recognized by OneWalk and properly credited to your OneWalk fundraising account.

From the Who are you raising money for? menu, select Charity and search for The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation.

Upon selecting The Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation, you will be prompted to enter a dollar amount and end date for your fundraiser.

On the next menu screen, update the title of your fundraiser to include your first and last name, OneWalk participant ID number and Rexall™ OneWalk to Conquer Cancer™. This is the only way OneWalk will be able to identify your fundraiser and your OneWalk information with your Facebook Fundraiser.

Once you have completed this entry, continue on and create your fundraiser on the next menu screen.

Important points to keep in mind:

Funds raised through Facebook Fundraising will take 60 to 90 days to be credited to your OneWalk fundraising account.

Funds raised through Facebook Fundraisers cannot be used for time-sensitive fundraising challenges.

To guarantee that funds raised will be allocated towards your event fundraising account be sure to follow each step above and include all relevant information as outlined.
